Are you aware that RFK is a big supporter of chiropractors? If anyone is spouting RFKs bullshit, it’s you.

Clearly.

What’s next, my drug dealer will start checking IDs? /s

They’re going to put age verification on pirating too!?

“completely degrading” - sounds like an oxymoron… “degraded” means it’s partially functioning, not completely working but not completely broken either.

Some of them might know how to use a torrent client though.

Weird Al’s career was built on this. He asked the original artists for permission, but that was out of respect, not because he had to.

You seem to be shifting the goal posts. None of the articles you linked to are about deficiencies in the ADA - in fact, your first link says this about it:

This act was so influential in improving challenges experienced by PWDs that its anniversary is celebrated annually through Disability Pride parades; these parades are typically held in large cities such as New York City and Chicago.

I never claimed America does more for disabled people than other countries. There are a lot of ways that we fall short. But when it comes to the ADA, it exceeds everything I’ve seen in foreign countries, and I’m proud of it.

I also understand that Denmark has laws that require a certain level of accessibility in public buildings. I never denied that, but I still maintain that their requirements are not equivalent to the ADA. So for, they seem to be inferior.

This article makes it sound like Denmark does, on occasion, flip the bird to disabled people. Can you share any counter-evidence that shows Denmark has a law that’s equivalent to the ADA?

The core issue is political and structural. Responsibility for disability policy is spread across multiple ministries with no coordination, long-term vision, or accountability mechanisms. People with disabilities and their families navigate a patchwork system that often fails to meet even basic needs.

This affects every aspect of daily life. Healthcare access remains unequal. Public transport and housing are not fully accessible. Participation in cultural and democratic life, including voting, is limited for too many. Even Denmark’s emergency preparedness plans overlook people with disabilities, leaving those who rely on electricity, medicine, or personal assistance uncertain about how they would manage during a crisis.

Your attitude is off putting, by the way. I’m glad most people I’ve met in Europe are more pleasant than you’re being.

True, but ignoring those old buildings, how many countries in Europe and Asia have laws like the ADA for new buildings? And sidewalks and parking lots?

You really don’t realize how much had been done to support people who have difficulties walking, hearing, etc. until you travel in Europe or Asia with someone who needs assistance. Walkable cities are great if you can walk, but you don’t notice the lack of wheelchair ramps unless you need them yourself or are traveling with someone who needs them.

As an American, the ADA is definitely something to be proud of.

Again: what the hell are you talking about? You’re building a lot of strawmen.

The daily mail is trash, I’m sorry if that offends you. But I didn’t say they never report the truth. All I’ve done is shared a way to verify their claims. I have no idea why you’re so upset by that, unless you think we should take their word for everything they report on, and never verify anything. But that would be kind of unreasonable…

I don’t know why you’re being so adversarial. The daily mail isn’t trustworthy, that’s not nonsense.

What the hell are you talking about? You asked me how someone could look up the claims made in the article, and I told you. A lot of people don’t trust the daily mail, and for good reason.

Do you know how to use a search engine? The “article” claims a 30% drop in the DFM Real Estate Index. If you search for “DFM Real Estate Index” on any search engine you’ll get a handful of websites that have current and historical prices for the DFMREI.

You can also go straight to the source and look up the real estate prices yourself, you don’t have to get this info from a tabloid.

Sometimes RTFM is valid advice. Still condescending, but also valid.

What if a dolphin is into really vanilla human porn though?

I interpreted their question differently. It sounds like they’re taking about Radarr having to download a movie before they can watch it, whereas streaming services have a “complete” (compared to a new *arr setup) library available to stream instantly.

Some bittorrent clients can start playing a video before it’s done downloading, and prioritize the torrent chunks in the right order so there aren’t any interruptions as long as there are seeders and you have enough bandwidth. But I don’t think plex or jellyfin can do it, and I don’t know of any alternatives that can.

Until a few years later when all the used TVs have cell modems. The same thing is already happening in the used car market, it’s getting harder and harder to find a reliable vehicle that doesn’t have a cell modem and a long T&C that let’s them spy on you.
